Grief… It is a tough subject, but in the last few years, given everything we have gone through, we need to talk about this.  No one, throughout our lives, has sat us down and told us how to deal with grief.  It is just not something that is brought up to prepare you to go through.  Many of us think we don’t need to deal with this until down the line. But Krista St-Germain sat down with me to talk to us all about this, and how it happened to her at a young age!  At the time, she didn't have the resources or support she needed and now she makes it her mission not to let anyone else feel the way she felt!   “When my husband was killed by a drunk driver, I was devastated. Therapy helped me survive the tidal wave of grief and unfurl myself from the fetal position. I went back to work. Everyone kept telling me how “strong” I was. I acted strong in front of my kids. But inside I felt hollow.  All my dreams had included him.  I desperately wanted to believe I could still have a happy, fulfilling life but I wasn’t sure how. Then I began to research grief, trauma, and healing extensively. I studied cognitive behavioral coaching and read every book I could find. I combined what I learned about Post Traumatic Growth with cognitive science-based coaching tools and figured out how to turn my loss into a strategy for growth.”  LINKS Facebook Page: Facebook Group: Website: Podcast:   If you're over 35 and curious about your menopausal status, I've got a handy checklist of symptoms to help clue you in.

I sat down with Barbie Boules, an expert in metabolic and cognitive health. In the podcast, we highlight alarming statistics, and the increasingly number of people will be affected by Alzheimer's, and explore the difference between Alzheimer's and different cognitive challenges.   We will also dive into the various factors that contribute to Alzheimer's, including hormonal changes during menopause, belly fat, and stress.   Today, I want to address a topic that holds immense significance and personal resonance in my life: Alzheimer's disease. I reflect on the profound impact this condition has had on my own family, as well as the lives of those close to me.  I’ve had close family members as well family friends who have sadly been impacted by Alzheimers.   A dear friend of mine lost his wife to early onset Alzheimer's. In her memory, he organizes an annual fundraiser, dedicated to raising both awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research.  I am humbled and grateful to be part of a community that genuinely cares about the well-being of others.  If you are moved by this cause and wish to make a contribution, please visit the link below to donate and support the battle against Alzheimer's.
